Elina Flight Tech seats . Any good ?

[animal]

Was just wondering where they rate as seats against say a Kashi or Shotgun e.t.c  ? R they considered cool enough 4 a show build ? How cheap were they bitd ? Same price as other seats ?

[Swivel]

Definitely cool enough mate, love those seats have a few myself in red, blue and black

[baldbmxer]

They werent any more expensive or cheaper that Kashimax seats.
I remember them from 86 so they were probably around in the states before then

My brother is after a red one if anyone has a spare. 

Sorry for the slight hijack Mr Animal. 

[brass monkey!]

had a black one of em, nice seat - not as desirable asa Kashi Aero but good enough for a show build

Cheers guys date wise u recon 86 or earlier ?

I bought a GT survivor and the bloke didnt change 1 single part on it from new. It was bought in 85 and his Dad still had the receipt!! It had a black elina flite seat.

The Flite Tech seat was around in 84, stock fitting to the Vector Victory series bikes

I aint a big fan dunno why  just don't think they have the same class as kashi and shotgun's...do love the elina lighting bolt though got a real vintage feel about them.

Yep good Seats they were definately around in late 1984.

From what I can make out the Elina time line would be....


1981 Elina (a lightning bolt without the bolts)
1981 Lightning Bolt
1982 Ulta Light
1982 ET
1983 Ultra Light /w fiberglass post
1983 Turbo
1984 Flyte Tech

There were a few others but they're the ones that count

[Mattdub]

Nice seats , ran a Flyte Tech throughout 85 on my PL20 .

[WARDY]

had a black one of em, nice seat - not as desirable asa Kashi Aero but good enough for a show build
